Eight-Day £10,000 Cashpoint Blitz Alleged



A Belfast French-Algerian accused of an ingenious £10,000-plus Transactional Reversal Fraud campaign on a building society's cashpoint machines appeared in custody at City of London Magistrates Court today (Tuesday).

Abdel Karim Redjel,30, of 25 Alveston Drive, Belfast was arrested by officers from the joint Metropolitan and City of London Police's Dedicated Cheque and Plastic Crime Unit.

He faces twenty-three charges of stealing a total of £10,180 from the Coventry Building Society on various dates between May 25 and June 1, 2007 and attempting to steal an unknown sum from the society on June 2.

It is claimed Redjel has perfected a cashpoint technique whereby money is dispensed without the account being debited.

He will return to court on August 4 and is expected to be committed to Southwark Crown Court.
